it utlimatly depends on the gear ratio ur in and how much wind is blowing at u, i mean, seriosuly if ur gonna be dropping 8 feet (more like 4) ur gonna be needing sum top notch bike equpment, and i am saying the hardtail just ainb't gonna do it, it's just too big

Def hit it.

I can do it on my little Balfa Minuteman with 5" DJII. It's surprisingly smooth. I've messed it up quite a few times, and still rode out of it.

The only problem I find is keeping my traction coming into it, when you have to take the right-hander up to the actual take off. Might not be an issue untill the super dry gravelly days of late summer though.

Note though…it took me all season to get the courage. I think I hit it in August or something. Once I did, I wondered why I didn't do it sooner.

its bigger than 4 feet, its only 4 feet if you drop right onto the top of the wood. if you hit the good part of the tranny its probably about 6 feet. and if you send it by jumping the end of the hill up to it and taking the most right line, then its pretty big.

it's pretty mellow actually, you can go pretty slow off the left side and pretty much almost land on the wood making it much much smaller than 8 feet….I do it on my xc-ified stuff with a crappy fork, you'll be fine, just cruise in with some good speed and keep it smooth

ya i totally forgot about that factor, sometimes i make my shonk setting as plush as they can go, strap my fox moto cross armor as tight as it can gom adjust my shades, make sure alot of lineup people r watching, and just torque into it from the wallride, going as fast as my legs let me, then at the lip, i just preload and pop like jack in the box and land as far past the tranny as possible, i give the head lash, hit my neck on my stem, and ride away with one hand ppumpoing into the air, throwing my horns, knowin i just did at least a 10 footer

It's like 24 feet if you count the tranny. When I did it, I gapped the village too and landed in the sand trap behind my hotel. SO AWESOME!!11oneone11!122111
